Hey Ms. Griffin, I can't imagine the strength you hold in your soul--its amazing! I am curious about a ton of things, and will be looking into your memoir, but am interested in what kind of PTSD you have experienced and how you've dealt with it? You said before faith is still a big part of it which, to me, is amazing that you've separated the predators from what they claimed to represent. Anyways, what has the mental health aspect of your recovery be like?

Also, as a social worker, what can be done at a societal (however micro the Amish society is) to encourage reporting of these incidents? I feel like that will end up being rhetorical, but is there any angle that's missing?

Thanks in advance!

I'm glad that you have to to grasp on to! I feel like it would be very easy to let anger consume me in your situation. As a follow-up what kind of mental health treat best helped you? I'm sure there were a number of diagnoses made, but did your upbringing make you skeptical of some treatments?

Also, what kind of a counselor is best for people with your level of trauma?

Edit: Also, do you work with non-profits as a speaker or anything yet? I'm sure there are a ton that would love to have you as a presenter! Also, where did you go with YWAM? I've been to a couple of their places, most notably watching the 2009 super bowl in Jamaica at their HQ in Monetgo Bay.

For me, I'm interested in how people that have been through things interact and experience the world. I'm also interested in people, period, and the story of lives.
